Bruising: There are several causes for these symptoms. Hate to send you to the ER on a Saturday, but I wouldn't wait until Monday.

Blood testing: There are many different conditions that may cause spontaneous bruising in children, requiring blood testing to determine the specific cause. Most of these conditions are not true emergencies, but if your child condition is worsening, I advise calling your Pediatrician for advice or go to your local Pediatric urgent care clinic or ER for immediate testing.
